most interesting events that ever occurred in
the history of Americas militia. Its incep-

The Revenue bill still hangs fire be-
tween the two houses, on the question of
taxing manufacturing corporations and
limited partnerships The question is
one of policy, the Senate opposing the
measure on the ground of fostering and
encouraging manufactures of all sorts,
while taxation might drive them from
the State, but the House insists that
taxation should be equal, and that they
should bear their proportionate share.
Under the bill, which viii doubtless be-
come law, all moneys at interest are
taxed three mills, one-half of which is to
be returned 10 the counties, this sum
added TO four-fifths of the amounts to be
received from High License, will enable
County Commissioners to reduce the tax
levy on all classes of property, and thus
the burdens of the general taxpayers will
be much reduced.
